I have zero confidence that any Hollywood studio would do so with the right level of political nuance, but I would absolutely love to see a movie about this guy's life as a double agent pro-democracy activist in Queens spying on other Chinese dissidents for the government in Beijing, only to get caught but skirt prison due to dementia. What a life.

This does infact sound like a movie.  My guess is that it's going to be Netflix. I understand there's a bunch of spy documentaries there
